Inspired by one of the greatest creative minds in the English language (and William Shakespeare) here is an officially licensed retelling of George Lucas's epic Star Wars in the style of the immortal Bard of Avon.
The saga of a wise (Jedi) knight and an evil (Sith) lord, of a beautiful princess held captive and a young hero coming of age, Star Wars abounds with all the valor and villainy of Shakespeare’s greatest plays. ’Tis a tale told by fretful droids, full of faithful Wookiees and fearstome Stormtroopers, signifying...pretty much everything.
